A method of weight-filling a receptacle having a cylindrical neck and a collar extending around the neck, comprising the steps of suspending the receptacle by the collar and filling and weighing the receptacle while it is suspended, and a weight-filler device for filling, by means of a filler spout, a receptacle having a cylindrical neck and a collar extending around the neck. The device has a weighing device including a holding element having a top surface forming a support for the collar of the receptacle so that the receptacle extends vertically beneath the filler spout and is cantilevered out from a support member mounted on a structure to extend laterally therefrom and associated with a weighing sensor comprising an elastically flexible bar having one end rigidly secured to the structure and an opposite end connected to the support member so that the support member extends substantially horizontally irrespective of a presence of an absence of a container on the support member.

Automotive load cells having centralized, multi-axis, loose tolerance overload / limit stops provide improved strain gauge response. The modular, integrated stop assemblies magnify sensor substrate deflection by use of opposed concave (Belleville) springs are used in direct contact with the substrate to accommodate ±Z axis deflection and Mx / My moment angular rotation. A flanged guide member on the load stud permits a wide range of geometries. The substrate is thickened around the load stud hole and the outboard support bolt holes. Hollow rivets assist in design modularity. Strain gauges are placed at the yield zones symmetrically with respect to the X axis. The substrate hole Mx / My gap is larger than the stop bracket hole to insure a positive stop for Mx / My moments prior to yield. The inventive multi-axis stop assembly is used in any type load cell, including rectangular, thinned, notched, necked / dogbone, or cantilever substrates with any strain gauge layout configuration.

A sealing arrangement is provided for a product weigh scale for a food processing apparatus the weigh scale including a support for supporting a product, a member that carries the support, and a weight sensor that senses vertical load on the member. The sealing arrangement includes a seal surrounding the member beneath the support, the seal having a first sealing surface configured to be sealed against a cabinet, and a second sealing surface. The seal is movable between an inactive position wherein the second sealing surface is out of contact with the support and a sealing position wherein the second sealing surface seals against the support. The seal includes a stationary part having the first sealing surface and a sliding part having the second sealing surface. A plurality of springs urge the sliding part toward the sealing position and a source of pressurized fluid is injected between the sliding part and the stationary part to urge the sliding part toward the inactive position. The pressurized fluid has a sufficient pressure to overcome the urging of the springs and maintains the sliding part in the inactive position during normal operation of the scale, wherein upon loss of the supply of pressurized fluid, the springs cause the sliding part to assume the sealing position.

A balance includes a weighing cell with a vertically movable load receiver, a weighing pan to receive a weighing load, and a support element to couple the weighing pan to the vertically movable load receiver of the weighing cell. A cantilever arm with a seat for at least one calibration weight is solidly connected to the support element. The balance has a coupling arrangement that constrains the support element with low-friction mobility to the load receiver at three points forming a triangle in a plane that extends orthogonal to the symmetry plane of the weighing cell, wherein the triangle is symmetric to the symmetry plane of the weighing cell. Under the coupling arrangement, the support element is solidly supported on the load receiver in the direction in which the weighing load is acting.

The invention relates to a sealing mechanism for a scale, in which a connection element connected to a moving lifting element seals or opens an annular gap, wherein, for an opened annular gap, the connection element and lifting element form a biasing load for the weighing sensor of the scale.

A weighing pan carrier (47) for a balance with a weighing pan and with a weighing cell that includes a load-receiving portion (11) and a stationary portion (12) has an overload protection device against excessive vertically directed forces that is releasably engaged with the weighing pan carrier. The weighing pan carrier (47) is fastened to the load-receiving portion (11) of the weighing cell and has on the other hand a fixed connection to the weighing pan. The weighing pan carrier (47) has a torque safety feature, which is integrated in the overload protection device and provides protection against excessive forces acting tangentially on the weighing pan and / or on the weighing pan carrier (47) in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the weighing load.

A base for a scale tilts slightly when a wheel is rolled onto it, to facilitate rolling the wheel onto a central ovular or elliptical concave mat surface. Opposed handgrips forming grippable loops may be provided on the base.

A seat load measuring apparatus that includes a seat rail between a seat-load measuring apparatus and a vehicle floor. The apparatus includes a base frame and a base bracket that provide a load support mechanism to support a load heavier than a predetermined load imposed on the vehicle seat.

An over-travel protection device for mounting an occupant classification sensor having a deflecting member, the sensor being mounted between first and second seat mounting portions, is described. The device has a sensor plate positioned adjacent the occupant classification sensor and a spacer having a land. The spacer is positioned adjacent to the occupant classification sensor. A compliant element is located between the sensor plate and the second seat mounting portion. The land is spaced from the first mounting portion until the deflecting member deflects a predetermined amount, causing the land to abut the first seat mounting portion and thereby preventing further displacement of the deflecting member.

A seat load measuring apparatus which can be effectively adopted to various kinds of motor vehicles without requiring various load sensors having cables of different lengths according to the kinds of motor vehicles, thereby providing improved installation, maintenance and manufacturing benefits. A seat load measuring apparatus may include a connector of a load sensor is a male connector having terminals projecting downwardly. The entry of the male connector faces the open bottom of a protector. On the other hand, a cable to be connected to an ECU is provided with a cable-side connector. The cable-side connector is composed of a female connector which is detachable relative to the male connector. Therefore, the load sensor and the cable are detachable from each other, thereby achieving the adaptability of the load sensor and the connector casing a relative to various kinds of motor vehicles.
